Reproduction Tear Drop Lights

Post by S Allen »

Found this while surfing the internet the other day. This fellow makes reproduction tear drop lights for the 69. I believe he can make any lenses one might need. I have never done business with him but wanted to let folks know about him. Prices are from 2016 so they may have gone up a bit. If anyone does contact, let me know how it goes and I will add him as a vendor. He makes motorcycle parts.

In the past I bought a set of front turn lenses for my 64 L320 from Greg. They are very nice, faithful reproductions and I'm quite pleased with them. At that time they were $60 for the pair. I'm not sure how much he keeps in inventory so best to check with him on availability for particular parts.

His repro rear petrol tank rubber mount (NLA from Honda) for my CB350 four cylinder was also a perfect fit, and a lower priced alternative to those offered by other vendors.

Was unaware that he also produces non-scooter parts, Steve -- thanks for the info.

Clauss has produced a number of reproduction lenses for the older Datsun Trucks.
He does not seem to carry stock or list them on his website.'
I advise folks to contact him and most likely he will repop those parts he has made.
Good guy to deal with. Nice quality lenses.

I don't know if he has any Datsun lenses, but I know he does not have "tear drop" front lenses, per en email I received 2-15-2019.
He used to, but no longer.

Our reproductions will be back in stock in the spring time. More expensive, but ours have the Everwing name at the front and the correct flat sealing gaskets.

Forgot to do a follow -up. These have been back in stock since May 2019 of this year. Plenty on hand and they have the Everwing name and numbers on the lenses.
Gary Wasserman has complete bolt on rebuilt assemblies. PM me for his phone number if you can not get in touch with him through 311s.

Not Everwing, but Altissimo tear drop marker lamp lenses, housings and gaskets are OEM parts for the Ferrari 250 SWB, visually identical, although will require an easy power pigtail modification.
